Trump's China 'Near-Peer' Label Sparks Debate

President Trump has called China a 'near-peer' to the US, but some people disagree.

They say the US and its friends have a big lead over China in many areas.

The US has more data centers, invests more in AI, and has many top companies.

It also has strong partners like South Korea, Taiwan, and the Netherlands.

The US and its allies have huge stock markets and control most of the world's big asset managers.

China is strong in trade, but the US and its allies are still very powerful.

So, some people wonder why President Trump thinks China is almost as strong as the US.
